Dress and Grooming

Philosophy:

lmost all PCC employees have some contact with PCC guests and therefore represent the Center through their appearance as well as their actions. A properly attired employee helps create a favorable image for the Center. The PCC has an interest in having all employees properly attired, and therefore has established a personal appearance policy for PCC employees.

1. Employees shall dress appropriately for the work they are performing at the Center. No employee shall wear dungarees, “grubby” jeans, or tightly fitted slacks. Office employees shall present a business-like appearance.
2. No employee shall wear a shirt printed with words/slogans/pictures that are contrary to standards of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
3. All employees engaged in performing cultural arts, dealing with the public or in sight of the public shall wear authentic costumes or uniforms as provided by their various departments.
4. Women shall not wear blouses, shirts, or dresses of sheer material or that are tightly fitted.
5. Women’s blouses or dresses shall have sleeves. If the garment is made with shoulder straps of any width, then a blouse, shirt or sweater shall be worn under the outer garment.
6. Women’s necklines shall be of modest cut.
   Women’s hemlines of dresses, skirts, shorts and culottes shall be no shorter than the top of the knee while standing.
7. Men shall not wear tank top shirts (shirts without sleeves).
8. Male employees, who as a part of their work costume do not wear shirts, shall wear a shirt while coming to work and leaving from work.
9. The attire of both men and women should always be neat and clean. Dress or manner that calls attention to itself and/or symbolizes non-conformity to the value of modesty, decency, and propriety shall be avoided. Radical departures from conventional dress or personal grooming shall not be permitted.
